If you write, you know Grammarly can be a lifesaver. The online grammar and spell checking service first came to Google Docs in 2018, but it’s now been updated with an expanded range of suggestions and a new sidebar to make those options easier to see.
How to Add Grammarly to Google Docs 2024 | Complete Guide
How it works: Once you install the Grammarly plugin for Chrome and go to Google Docs, you’ll see the new sidebar. Simply click on the red number or green G in the bottom right corner of your screen to activate it.
Premium features: The free version of Grammarly gives you suggestions on grammar, spelling, and punctuation, along with suggestions on conciseness and tone. A paid subscription adds even more, including help with readability, vocabulary, sentence variation, confident language, and more.
But wait, there’s more: Along with the new Google Docs sidebar, Grammarly has also added a new Goals panel. This lets you focus on specific details in your writing, such as audience, formality, type of writing (business, casual, email, and more), and tone.
